Pat on the back for Hibs fans

Hibs boss Pat Fenlon has stressed the importance of the club’s players and management forging a strong bond with fans as he bids to improve the on-field form of the Easter Road side.

Fenlon and his charges emerged on to the pitch to salute the Hibs support that travelled to Fir Park for Friday’s abandoned match against Motherwell, a show of appreciation that he hopes can strengthen the relationship between his playing squad and those in the stands.
